I finally broke down and asked my wife for only one thing for Christmas; another pair of Sanuk Vagabond sidewalk surfers. I purchased my only pair at 29 Palms Marine Corps Base, CA in 2011 before I executed a year-long deployment to Afghanistan. My Vagabonds have never left my side since to include another two-month and six-month Afghanistan deployment respectively. They are prefect for those walks to the shower trailer in the middle of winter where open-toed sandals/flip-flops just don't cut it. I've done yard work with them to include brush clearing. Alas my first pair now has holes at my big toes. I will still keep using them but I want another pair. I just think Vagabonds are great
